## Grants for education, culture and leisure services

Organisations and activity groups can apply to the municipality for operating grants for their own activities. The grants are distributed at discretion, and they are paid against actual receipts or instructor diaries.

During the year, an organisation may apply for a grant for the same purpose from only one operational unit (culture, sports or youth). Organisations must submit the financial statement documents to the grantor annually.
